Internal Auditing is the best tool for evaluating the effectiveness of your QMS. Plus, using untrained quality auditors is like making measurements with an out-of-calibration instrument. Get the most from your investment into your quality program by using trained ISO auditors who understand the criteria and the methods. After attending this class, your updated auditors will know how to gauge the effectiveness of your ISO 9001 Quality program and communicate results clearly and objectively.

This 1-day course is designed to familiarize you with the changes you will need to make to move to IATF 16949:2016 from ISO/TS 16949:2009. This class will allow you to identify the gaps in your current system, develop your implementation strategy and plan your transition.

It is appropriate for:

Top management who will need to understand the changes to ensure a successful transition and ensure that the organization receives value from the system after the transition.

Anyone who will be planning or implementing an IATF 16949:2016 transition for their organization.

Current ISO/TS 16949:2009 internal auditors who will need to be familiar with the new standard to provide audit support during and after the transition.

Time for the ISO Company Audit?

So what are you going to do about your company audit? How about make an educated guess what the problem is, assign someone to “fix” it, and sit back and relax;for another month or so? Just another short-term solution. Instead, why not tackle the audit head on, and kick its butt. With role playing and actually writing up your own audit plans and reports, you will get to see why objective evidence is so crucial to improving and even closing the gaps in your company’s system. It becomes such a different world when you see firsthand all of the scenes. Of course, Les Cornelius, Quality Assurance Coordinator for Lee BioSolutions, Inc., put it better.

“Role playing and specific examples were helpful elements because they fully exercise the brain in its learning capacity and help internalize and retain the teachings”

Ask yourself, why these teachings? Why do you need unarguable objective evidence, and why isn’t your best guess good enough? It’s because without unarguable evidence, we end up managing by the seat of our pants and just argue back and forth our subjective opinions instead of discovering what is factually true. We will never accomplish anything with certainty, and we could do the wrong thing that could set you back even further. But as with anything, the proof is in the pudding, so what are the results? In the class, you will see numerous examples proving that managing by objective evidence leads to better and higher performance. And this leads to measurable improvement of the whole system. Simple yet complex. Complex yet simple. In a nutshell, you will come away with the knowledge to conduct an ISO 9001 based internal audit and improve your company’s quality system. And, maybe more importantly, you can face your fears – and hopefully avoid Aunt Sally’s mold.

ISO 9001:2015 Auditor Training Improves the Effectiveness of Your QMS

There is no reason to fear 2nd and 3rd party audits if you have an effective quality program with competent assessors. If you are thoroughly evaluating your quality system with objective reviews, nothing the external registrars say or find will come as a surprise to you. But an audit program is only as strong as its weakest link.

Are your process auditors properly trained on the multiple facets of conducting a successful quality review?

The Bizmanualz Combined Training class helps ensure you get the most from your Audit program. We keep our classes small and we use a seminar-style presentation with an interactive format to discuss particular auditing approaches that meet your needs.

Interactive, Seminar Style Quality Training

Small class sizes using limited PowerPoint slides maximizes learning and retention. No sitting in dark rooms staring at the screen while an instructor drones on. No sitting in big hotel ballrooms, lost in a large group with little or no opportunity to ask questions or to network with other quality managers and auditors here. With our intimate classes, we allow time for group discussions in order to ensure you get answers to your questions. Real world auditing issues are covered by experienced auditors.

Plus, along with a real QMS Process Audit Exercise, our discussions are interspersed with exercises that are fun as well as a great learning experience that you can take back to your company. Take the mystery out of the Standard by taking this special training event. Everyone wants to be part of a successful organization. Connecting the dots between compliance and success can be an important motivator for your audit team.
